I expected a book that discussed the decision of wether or not to have children. 
I didn't expect the way it did this -it gives different perspectives but it doesn't try to be objective- and that it discusses motherhood beyond that decision.

Reading books because someone recommended them to Rosalie Hale...

I don't think 22 year olds who probably don't want children and certaintly not now are the intended audience for this book. Maybe it would really stress me out if I was older. I recognised the Good Book-ness of this but I didn't actually enjoy my reading experience very much. It was a very quick read though - lots of white space
